I told her it was normal and not to be embarrassed about it. She'll be lying on her tummy with her skirt lifted up and her hands between her legs and she'll part and then close her legs tightly together in a consistent rhythmic way.

This reaction was because I was able to get all of the answers I needed from your website, thanks so much. From my observation, this will cease only when I'm close enough to her or when the rhythmic scissoring of her legs ends with a few hard jams with her flexing her bottom and her body shuddering.

A sizeable number of both boys and girls engage in prepubescent masturbation.This is my little girl and I do not know what to say or do about this situation.I have always tried to be very open with my kids about sex, drugs, alcohol, etc., and I am glad she feels comfortable to confide in me, but I just never imagined it would be something like masturbation and at such a young age.My sense is that he's certainly going to masturbate as much as he wants (and neither my wife or I want to make him feel guilty about it) but that he will, somehow, seek out the materials he wants - so it's better to guide him rather than refuse complete access to porn. You're obviously a parent who cares a lot, although your question is a shocking one.I think you're right to cut him off from Internet porn.
